Five songs spring to mind:

Don't Let It Get You Down

Hide & Seek no best instrumental and will is in the zone only song by bunnys that has ever got me in the zone

Make Me Shine

What If We Are

Think I Need It Too

Bedbugs and Ballyhoo. AWFUL!

Fuel is pretty bad too.

The music on Hide & Seek is pretty good but...

I know you know we know I'm going down? Again someone should have said to Mac "what the fuck is this?"

True but while Britpop was going on, Mac and Will were trying to be an American grunge band with Electrafixion, which of course is when Baseball Bill was written.

I really hate the song King of Kings mainly because of the opening line. It just seemed so beneath Mac's ability and they even chose it to be the opening track to Flowers. In hindsight it seems fitting.

Bullshit Fuel is a good song.

Heard Folls Like Us, History Chimes and Get in the Car for the first time in ages yesterday. Just thought I'd give them a chance rather than skipping them as usual. Good grief they are bad.

Most of those already mentioned plus Everything Kills You. Don't agree Thorn of Crowns and Bedbugs should be on the list, they are both much better live than recorded.

I really like Get In The Car!!!!

I think so. It reminds me of the song they are trying to record in Boogie Nights.

Its no contest really-95% of Flowers is so sub-standard its untrue.Disenchanted sounds from a band with no label."Everybody knows how your garden grows".and that really shit keyboard sound "turning all the bees into may".AwfulThe only track I ever play from Flowers is Burn for Me the last one.

Surprised at some suggestions re WYGDWYL,Thorn of Crowns and Bedbugs.Grammy award winners in comparison to that Flowers bollocks.

But......all bands release at least one duffer.
